Philosophy Lyrics - Ben Folds Five - Ben Folds Five

Won't you look up at the skyline, at the mortar block and glass 

And check out the reflections in my eyes 

You see they always used to be there even when this all was grass 

And I sang and danced about a high rise 

And you were laughing at my helmet hat 

Laughing at my torch 

Go ahead you can laugh all you want 

I got my philosophy 

(Keeps my feet on the ground) 

And I trust it like the ground 

And that's why my philosophy 

(My phil) 

It keeps me walking when I'm falling down 

(Osophy) 

I see that there is evil and I know that there is good 

And the in-betweens I never understood 

Won't you look at me I'm crazy but I get the job done 

Yeah, I'm crazy but I get the job done 

And I say, go ahead you can laugh all you want 

But I got my philosophy 

(Keeps my feet on the ground) 

And I trust it like the ground 

And that's why my philosophy 

(My phil) 

It keeps me walking when I'm falling down 

(Osophy) 

I pushed you 'cause I loved you guys 

I didn't realize you weren't having fun 

I dragged you up the stairs and I told you to fly 

You were flapping your arms, you started to cry 

You were too high, too high 

You may take this all for granted, you take the mortar block and glass 

And you forget the speech that moved the stone 

But it's really not the you can't see the forest for the trees 

You've never been out in the woods alone 

So you can laugh all you want to 

But I got my philosophy 

(Keeps my feet on the ground) 

And I love you you're my friend 

But you got no philosophy 

(My phil) 

Now it's time for this song to end 

(Osophy)
